Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig.A)
Auto Oiling System
This chainsaw is equipped with an auto oiling system that
keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
The oil level indicator
15
shows the level of the oil in the
chainsaw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, disconnect
the tool from the power source and refill with the correct
type of oil. Always empty oil tank when finishedcutting.
NOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper saw
chain and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-
detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use of
a vegetable based bar and chain oil is recommended when
pruning trees. Mineral oil is not recommended because it
may harm trees. Never use waste oil or very thick oil. These
may damage yourchainsaw.
Filling the Oil Reservoir
1. Unscrew counterclockwise and then remove the oil
cap
14
. Fill the reservoir with the recommended bar and
chain oil until the oil level has reached the top of the oil
level indicator
15
.
2. Refit the oil cap and tightenclockwise.
3. Periodically switch the chainsaw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properlyoiled.
Replacement chain and bar are available from your
nearest authorized servicecenter.
• This chain saw requires replacement 18 inch (450mm) chain
DWO1DT618. Replacement 18 inch (450mm) barDWZCSB18.

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure the tool is unplugged before
performing the following operations. Failure to do this
could result in serious personalinjury.
1. To remove the saw chain
5
, place the saw on a flat,
firmsurface.
2. Remove sprocket cover
6
as described in Installing the
Guide Bar and Saw Chainsection.
3. Rotate the chain tension screw
8
in the front of the
housing using the flat screwdriver end of the wrench.
Turning the screw counterclockwise allows the guide
bar
4
to recede and reduces the tension on the chain so
that it may beremoved.
4. Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain and lift
the worn saw chain out of the groove in the guidebar.
5. Flip guide bar over every time you replace the chain to
ensure evenwear.
6. Place the new chain in the slot of the guide bar, making
sure the saw teeth are facing the correct direction by
matching the arrow and graphic of the saw chain on the
sprocket cover
6
shown in Fig.E.
7. Follow instructions for Installing the Guide Bar and
SawChain.
